SUBJECT: Proposition 10 Referral: Additional Information on Distribution of Problems
At the Finance Committee discussion on February 8, information on the distribution of problems
which might be addressed by Proposition 10 was requested. Information on perinatal substance
abuse and perinatal problems in general has been provided. Attached are two additional
documents.
The first gives a picture of the perinatal indicators (low birth weight, births to teens and timing
of prenatal care) for Fast, Central and West County. The most critical factors for healthy births
are access to early prenatal care, which is dramatically decreased when families are uninsured, and
effective intervention during pregnancy to address nutritional needs, smoking and substance abuse.
The second summarizes the results of parent focus groups held in 1994 as part of an earlier
planning effort. What is striking about these findings is that parents across geographic, racial,
ethnic and economic groups shared many of the same concerns.

Perinatal Indicators by Region of County
Introduction
This briefing contains information about the distribution of papulation and births in Contra Costa
County,and three issues related to infant health----low birth weight, births to teenagers and late entry
into prenatal care. All of the information here is presented by the three regions county(East,West and
Central) defined by zip codes. (A description of the regions by zip code and a map of the regions is
included at the end of this briefing).
Several different sources for data were used in the process of assembling this report.Information about
the demographics of and population estimates for Contra Costa and California come from the 1990
Census, the California Department of Finance, and population estimates from Claritas, a population
statistics company. The data used to create the perinatal statistics, low birthweight,late entry into care
and teenage pregnancy are from Birthnet, a computerized source of birth statistics maintained by the
California Department of Health Services(CDHS). This data was compiled and analyzed by the Contra
Costa Health Services,.Family,;Maternal and Child Health program.
The following charts and tables are include in the briefing:
•Population by Region., Contra Costa County, 1980, 1990 and 1997
*Number and Percentage of Births by Region, Contra Costa County, 1992-1997
* Number and Percentage of Mothers Who Received Prenatal Care in the First Trimester by
Region, Contra Costa County, 1992-1997(Chart and Table)
•Regions and Cities/Places by Zip Codes,Contra Costa County
•Three Regions of Contra Costa by Zip Code
We hope that this Perinatal Briefing Report provides useful insight into significant perinatal issues in the
county.

Factors Related to_Poor,Infant Health
1. Low Birth'Weight
A low birth weight baby is one that is less than 2500 grams at birth. The percentage of low birth weight
births is calculated by dividing the number of infants weighing less than 2500 grams in a calendar year by
the total number of live births that year. Low birth weight babies have a higher risk of congenital
anomalies, need more intensive hospital care and suffer from a higher rate of illness (particularly
respiratory illnesses) and death in the first year of life.
.Between 1992 and 1997 there were 4,631 low birth weight births in Contra Costa County, an average of
771.8 per year. Appromately 6% of all births in the county are low birthweight births.In 1997 there
were 253 low birth weight births in Central County (5.3% of all,births in CentralCounty), 277 in East
County (6.6%) and 244 in West County (7.4%). Between 1992 and 1997, the percentage of low birth
weight births has increased in East County(from 5.7%to 6.6%),decreased in West County(from 8.0%
to 7.4) and remained the same in Central.County(from 5.0%to 5.3%) .
Factors that are relaters to low birth weight births include preterm birth, tobacco use during
pregnancy,young or old maternal age,low income,low maternal education level,alcohol/substance
abuse during pregnancy,multiple gestation,history of low birth weight,and late entry into prenatal.
care.
2. Births to Teenagers
According to the 1996 Atlas of Births to California T"eeneagerss,teenage mothers are at higher risk than older
mothers for poor pregnancy outcomes including pre-eclampsia,preterm delivery, and low birthweight
infants.This report also noted that teenage mothers were less likely to complete high school and become
financially independent, and more likely to experience marital instability, restricted educational
attainment and poor economic status.
Between 1912 and 1997,the percentage of all births to teenagers(less than 18 years of age)in Contra Costa
County has remained virtually the same.In 1992 there were 413 births to teenagers,constituting 3.3%
percent of all births.In 1117 there were 424 births to teenagers which was 3.5%of all.births.Both Nest
and Bast County have a higher percentage of births to teenagers (5.1% and 4.0%respectively)compared
to Central County (1.7%) . While the highest percentage of births to teenagers occur in West County,
the number and percentage of these births has steadily increased in Bast County between 1992 and 1917.
Factors that contribute to births to teenagers include low income, low maternal education level,
race/ethnicity (.African American, Hispanic), lack of effective contraceptive use/family planning
practices,lack of education/counseling regarding contraceptive use/family planning,previous teen
pregnancy, and initiation of sexual activity at a young age.
3.Lack of Prenatal Care in the First Trimester
Prenatal care in the first trimester refers to the percentage of mothers who received prenatal health
services in the first three months of pregnancy,which is the optimal time for such care.Prenatal care is
an important component in the development of a healthy baby.Early and comprehensive prenatal care
improves the chances of a positive outcome for both mother and child by identifying conditions that
might complicate the pregnancy and by providing the time for education to occur about nutrition,
exercise and preparation for pregnancy,labor,delivery,postpartum and early parenting.
Overall there was a significant increase in the percentage of mothers receiving prenatal care in the first
trimester in Contra Costa County between 1992 and 1997.'There was a decline in the number of women
receiving prenatal care in the first trimester in the East and Central County starting in 1993 and
continuing until 1996.But all regions of the county improved in 1997.
Factors that are related to women nal receiving prenatal care in the first trimester include low
income,young maternal age/teen pregnancy,low maternal education level,race/ethnicity(African
American,Hispanic),maternal substance abuse,and lack of health insurance.The timing of prenatal
care is also sensitive to changing eligibility factors including whether coverage or a provider is
available.

PLANNING THE FMCS FMO Goals, Values, Parameters
THE FAMILY FOCUS GROUPS
Pumose
In August 1994, the planning staff of the Family !Maintenance Organization (FMO), a
project sponsored by the Contra Costa County Health Services Department's
Office for Service Integration (OSI), and funded by The Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation, began a process to ask the County's parents, grandparents and foster
parents about the difficulties and challenges they face in raising their children, and
how the Health Services Department might make that job easier. This process was
designed to enhance assessment Information already compiled through Interviews
with social service and other professionals, literature searches and previous
County-sponsored needs assessments.
Em-cess. Recrultmentand Demograghtes
During September and October 1994, FMO staff conducted fifteen 90-minute focus
groups throughout the County, ultimately meeting with 141 parents, grandparents
and foster parents.
Staff secured locations centrally located within communities and in which
participants would be comfortable. Recruitment was carried out by flyer and
poster distribution at local community centers, supermarkets, foodbanks and by
mailed invitations to randomly-selected Contra Costa Health Pian (CCHP) members.
Local community agencies and county programs also assisted in recruitment.
Participants came from a variety of ethnic, racial, educational and socio-economic
backgrounds. Staff made special efforts to Include parents for whom Spanish was
their primary language, parents whose children are under the jurisdiction of Child
Protective Services (CPS) and foster parents. Some demographic highlights on the
participants
+r Ninety percent (90%) were female;
+� East County residents were more heavily represented than justified by their
proportion of the county population alone (however, East County is the
fastest growing area within the County);
e Persons of color were more heavily represented than Justified by their
proportion of the county population alone;

• Forty-six percent (46%) of those responding to the question reported an
annual family income of $10,000 per year or less; 19% had family incomes
greater than $35,000 per year; and
• Fifteen percent (15'x) of respondents reported having no health insurance
coverage.
Except for the small representation of fathers, demographic information on focus
group participants proved consistent with FMO staff's goals for participation.
mar ation ou ht
Participants were asked to describe their families and to share with staff what they
liked about raising children in Contra Costa County, what challenges they faced and
what ideas they had for haw things could work better. Additionally, participants were
asked several questions about their Impressions of the Health Services Department.

What Parents Like About Raising Children in Contra Costa County
Two significant areas of praise were mentioned.
• QualilyCa[e, and Service, - Though most parents expressed confusion
about haw to use county services and frustration over longwants for
appointments and to see care givers, many parents were char that once
they did get through the system, they were very pleased with the quality of
care and services they received from County Health Services.
• SugDort SgrM#ces - A few parents reported that when they did ask for help
and support, they were grateful (and surprised) at the number of people
willing to help them and at the wide range of services and programs
available.
Some parents spoke at length about the difference some staff members made by
treating them with kindness, compassion and respect, and taking the time to listen
which helped the parents to help themselves.

What Parents Want and Nand
The needs of these Contra Costa County parents were basic, straightforward and
similar to parents throughout the country. Though the information FMO staff heard
was rich and complex, and though the context In which it was said was often just as
important as what was said,the concerns parents shared can be summarized into the
following key points:
a The parents seemed to be hungry for advice and support, provided on their
own terms. They wanted to help themselves. They asked mainly for
assistance to do a better job. They wanted someone to talk to when they
did not know where else to turn about problems with their children. They
wanted to be able to ask for help without risking adverse consequences for
admitting their need for assistance. Some liked the idea of classes and
support groups. Others said help by telephone would work. Many needed
help with transportation and/or child care to take advantage of programs. In
most cases, programs need to be offered at very-low or no cost, and in
locations convenient to their homes and jobs.
a Many parents said that they do not get what they need because information
about available resources is confusing and not readily available. Some
parents talked about staff not knowing enough about resources in the
community and not taking the time to help them figure out what they need
and how to get it. Others explained that when they did ask for help, they
found it, although sometimes It took luck and persistence to get it.
e Parents frequently cited lack of parental employment, lack of affordable child
care, lack of well-supervised recreational activities for children and lack of
job opportunities for teens as realities which they knew put their children at
greater risk for school failure, low self-esteem, and exposure to crime and
gangs.
e Violence emerged again and again as an issue. The parents were fearful for
their children's safety and their own. Many also talked about the negative
effects of perceived racism on their children.
• Parents who used county health or social services both praised and criticized
the services, depending on their personal experiences. Criticism focused on
system rigidities, lack of coordination across programs, perceived negative
staff attitudes, and waiting times for appointments and care. Praise was
spoken for caring staff who did their jogs well.

scontra Costa County Health Services Department office for Service Integration
PLANNING THE FMO Summary of Family Focus Groups
e Lack of health insurance and loss of Medi-Cal and child rare benefits when
trying to move off welfare were very significant issues for parents. Many
stated they felt trapped by the rules of the system.
• Some parents specifically asked for more mental health services, affordable
dental care, developmental services for children, more bilingual services and
staff and a better information and referral system.
CoMarlson to !2ther Fladinas
The findings from the FMO focus groups were consistent with information gathered
previously from literature search and interviewing efforts. This Information,previously
distributed as the .Family Strengths and Needs Assessmeol planning document,
confirmed that many of the Issues and concerns which health and human service
professionals raised on behalf of families were the same ones which concerned
families themselves.
In addition to confirming earlier findings, the FMO focus groups provided some
detailed suggestions about how services could be improved.
Conclualons
The parent participants in the FMO focus groups, regardless of racial or ethnic
background, or educational or economic status, were working hard to raise their
families and cope with issues which arose. They appeared tired and over-stressed.
The parents had many Issues in common with one another. These concerns
sometimes took on a life of their own during the discussions. Parents needed to vent,
to connect with one another, and to hear that other parents were struggling with the
same Issues.
The Information provided by parent participants was significant and complex. The
concerns could not be boiled down into one or two key problems. It was evident to
FMO staff, however,that the following themes of concern were shared by focus group
participants:
• Culturally competent support and advice to help parents solve their own
problems and to care for themselves and their families;
• Accountable and responsive government systems and services;
e Quality and affordable health care, including mental health services,
developmental assessment services and dental care;

• Easily accessible and accurate Information and referral,
• Affordable child care and children's recreational, tutorial and educational
programs and activities, staffed with.appropriately-trained personnel;
• Effective education and job training programs;
• Employment which pays a living wage;
• Affordable, reliable and convenient transportation; and
• Affordable housing In safe communities.
Many of the forces buffeting parents were economic and the result of a fraying social
fabric. Thus, the list of what parents want included many suggestions outside the
responsibility and control of the Health Services Department and even county
government. The focus groups provided us a rich store of information. FMO staff
was struck by the seriousness of the challenges facing the parents who participated
in the focus groups and the honesty with which they expressed their need for help.
The challenge for us is to define the specific ways by which we can be part of a
support system which helps parents overcome these challenges.
Next Stags
The Health Services department will continue interagency activity with other county
departments and systems such as education, as well as community agencies, to
strengthen the health of families. Such efforts have begun already through
participation in the Service integration Teams in North Richmond and Vilest
Pittsburg/Bay Point and the Policy Academy.
The next step for the FMCS planning effort is to Identify specific changes within the
health system which can be made to assist families more effectively. The particular
areas for attention will Include how the system can be made more "family-friendly"
and how services can be reorganized or created in order to fill the health services gaps
identified by parents.

Fie: County Strategic Pian Adoption for Proposition 10 Implementation
At the Finance Committee's February 22, 1999 meeting, this office was
asked to obtain the opinion of the California Attorney general as to whether it was
necessary to adopt the County Commission's first strategic plan prier to July 1, 1999 in
order to avoid any risk of losing Proposition 10 tobacco tax funds received for the
period between January 1 and June 30, 1999. In doing the legal analysis required to
support such an opinion request to the Attorney general's office, I formed the opinion
that it is clearly not necessary for the County Commission to adopt its first strategic plan
on or before July 1, in order to retain Proposition 10 tobacco taxes received prior to
June 30, 1999. For this reason, I recommend that no California Attorney general's
opinion be requested in this regard.
DISCUSSION, Proposition 10 was approved at the November 1998 general
election and enacted the "California Children and Families First Act of 1998" (the "Act")
by adding Division 108 (commencing with Section 130100)to the California Health and
Safety Code. All section references hereafter will be to provisions contained in Division
108.
The Act provides that for participating counties (such as Contra Costa) after
January 1, 1999, 80% of the Proposition 10 tobacco taxes collected shall be allocated
and appropriated to county commissions for the period between January 1, 1999 and
June 30, 2000. (§§l 30105(d), (2) & 130140(a).) For funds that any participating
county receives between January 1, 1999 and June 30, 2000, no expenditures may be
made until and unless the involved county commission has adopted its first county
strategic plan. (§130140(b).) The Act further provides that any funds allocated and
appropriated to a local county commission's trust fund that are not encumbered or
expended within any applicable fiscal period remain in the same local trust fund for
expenditure during that next fiscal period in accordance with the involved county
commission's approved strategic plan. (§130105, (d), (2XB).)
For the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2000, and each fiscal year thereafter,
a county commission will continue to receive Proposition 10 tax revenues only if it has
properly adopted an adequate county strategic plan, submitted the plan to the state
commission, conducted required public hearings and completed and submitted all
Board of Supervisors
March 1, 1999
Page 2
audits required to the state commission. (§130140, (d).) The only provision in the Act
(Proposition 10)that requires the return of funds to the state commission after they are
deposited in the local county trust fund is where a county "elects not to continue
participation in the"Act's program. In which case, any unencumbered and unexpended
funds remaining in the local trust fund shall be returned to the state trust fund for
reallocation and reappropriation to remaining participating counties in the following
fiscal year. (§ 130140,(e).)
Based on the foregoing noted provisions and sections of the Act (Proposition
10), it is my opinion that the only event that would require that funds be returned from
the local county trust fund to the state trust fund prior to July 1, 2000, would be the
Beard of Supervisors' election not to continue participation with the Act's program.

Bear Mr. Corcoran:
The California.Children and Families First Act of 1998, (Proposition 10),creates a program for
the early development of children. Money for this program is to be collected from taxes imposed
on tobacco products in the State. The majority of the money collected will be allocated to county
commissions based on the number of births in the county in accordance with Health and Safety
Code section 130140.
To be eligible to receive an allocation the county board of supervisors must adapt an ordinance
that contains the minimum previsions outlined in Health and Safety Code section 130140. In
order for our office to begin making payments to your county,you must notify us in writing that
you have complied with the provisions of section 130140, and specifically the following,
